Ah crap, I just got a 63A..haha goes to show I should have asked this a week ago before I started my JY crawl!

Quote:

Judging by the log book, you witnessed Daryls only outing in this car 9/3/94. For some reason after all that work he ran it both days at the SCR Nats and then it went back into storage again untill 2000.

I appreciate your offer of help, I am having a "fun" time tracking down parts. I may be in touch

I snagged a 63A trans tonight which "appears" to be a nearly bolt in affair and I am getting with a buddy of mine at Nissan Motorsports in TN. tomorrow to see what goodies are still around for this thing. I'll keep it posted somewhat!

I had stuff to do today so I really didn't get time out there...I'll leave it for now woth a few neat snap shots;

Not usual to have a perfect snapshot of a vintage car with its full results NEARLY from the day it started racing!

BTW: I can't find and the previous owner doesn't think he has the first log book, the car was damaged during new car delivery and was written off so it has pretty much always been a racer.

I still had plenty of time so I started bagging the cat hair(yech!) and "crap" off the floors. I hosed everything off inside and out, after the floors were pretty clean; enough that the garage doesn't smell ;) it went back inside and I started removing more parts. My basement is about full of MK1 VW parts but I'll have to segregate some space for this...












I stopped there Tuesday night. I have to go get some Lexan at some point, the windows are very yellowed and the side windows are both broken. Be better to replace it all than mess with the old Plexi!

All right, after I dropped it in the garage the other night I went to bed :). After I got home from work on Tuesday night I started pulling the panels off and cleaning up eight years of idleness. It was stuffed into the previous owners garage in July of Y2K.

How it looked yesterday before I started:





I started with a simple bath then started pulling panels off:

Well it is a A12A. I'm figuring 150 or so horsepower based on what some other SCCA guys have out of them. It will be a few months before I get it together but I want to be sure I have the right one so I can mark it off of the list for now!

What options are there and what are the differences. I want the lightest strongest 5 spd and was pointed toward the 78 B210 5-spd as the choice.

Is there a casting number on each trans that tells what version it is? I got a 210 5-spd for my 1200 but I want to be sure that it really is before I get to far into it. I know in VWs it is stamped into a plate on the bottom...do we have the same thing and if so what numbers mean what? Thanks in advance

OK, it took longer than I thought so I just got home now and don't have much in the way of pics. I did turn up the log book, 1976 to present with a few breaks..most notably that it has not been run(or used) since 2000. I made the deal for it two years ago but it was still being used as a cabinet in the previous owners garage so after loading all the crap out of it I wandered through his barn(he has another 1200 in there) a row of 240Zs and 1600/2000 roadsters also. Absolutely awesome!. I'll post some pics tomorrow of before and after I wash it and start vaccuuming the "crap" out of it!

EDIT: a quick pic for the lookers!

Well I finally emptied the garage enough so I'm heading over to the storage to load it up and drag it back here. Pics tonight or tomorrow. I d/checked and the rear is a solid axle...not sure why I thought it was independent but...
